WILLIAM ROBERT HAYES, OF OAMPBELLSBURG, INDIANA.

DISPLAY-RACK.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, VVILLIAM ROBERT HAYES, a citizen of the United States, residing at Campbellsburg, in the county of ashington and State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Display: Racks, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to display racks, and more particularly to revolving display racks for displaying coats and skirts and the like, the object being to provide a rack with supporting bars for supporting garment hangers, so that the frame carrying the same can be readily revolved so as to bring any one of the skirts into view.

Another object of my invention is to slidably mount the bars so that the skirt carried by the same can be pulled out beyond the other skirts so that it can be readily inspected.

Another object of my invention is to provide a displayrack which is very cheap in construction, the parts being so arranged and connected that they can be readily disconnected for shi ment.

A further 0 ject of .my invention is to provide a novel'su porting frame for the suporting bar whicI1 is very neat in appearance.

With these objects in view the invention consists in the novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts, hereinafter fully described and pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings forming a part of this specification :F igure 1 is a top plan view of my improved display rack part of the sup portingfbars being removed. Fig. 2 is a section taken on the line 22 of Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a side elevation showing a garment hanger carrying a skirt connected to one of the supporting bars.

In carrying out my improved invention I employ a base A provided with feet A and in which is secured a standard B on the upper end of which is revolubly mounted a cap C rovided with rods D supporting a circular frame E which comprises a pair of concentric rings E secured together by portions E and to a hub F revolubly mounted on the standard by spokes G which hold the frame in a horizontal position, so that it will not wabble when being revolved. It will be seen by this arrangement that the frame and cap can be readily removed from the standard when de Specification of Letters Patent.

sired, so that it will not occupy a large space for shipping.

The concentric rings of the frame are pro vided with a plurality of spaced openings in alinement with each other in which are slidably mounted a plurality of supporting rods H which are provided with apertures at their inner ends, in which are secured cotter pins I for locking the rods therein, so as to prevent the same being pulled too far out.

Eyes J are secured in the outer end of the rod, to which are adapted to be connected the hooked members of garment hangers K, for supporting ladies skirts and the like. The eyes form stops for the rods, so as to prevent the same from being forced too far inwardly. It will be seen that by this arrangement a great number of skirts can be supported by the rack, and when it is desired to show one of these skirts to a customer, the supporting rod is drawn outwardly with the skirt de sired to be shown, so that it will be brought clearly into view.

From the foregoing description it will be seen that I have provided a novel display rack with a plurality of slidably mounted supporting rods for supporting garments.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is l. A display rack comprising a standard, a cap revolubly mounted on the end of said standard, supporting a circular frame, said frame being provided with a plurality of openings, rods slidably mounted in said openings, eyes carried by said rod for supporting garment hangers, and means for locking said rods in sand frame.

2. A display rack comprising a base, a standard carried by said base, a ca revolubly mounted on the upper end of said standard, rods carried by said cap, a circular i'rame supported by said rods comprising a pair of concentric rings provided with openings in alinement with each other, and supporting rods slidably mounted in the openings in the rings provided with eyes at their outer ends.

3. A display rack comprising a base provided with feet, a standard secured in said base, a cap revolubly mounted on the upper end of said standard, rods carried by said cap, a frame supported bysaid rod comprising a pair of concentric rings provided with openings in alinement with each other, a hub mounted on said standard provided with spokes connected to the inner ring of said frame, rods slidably mounted in the openings of the rings provided with eyes at their outer ends for supporting garment hangers, and cotter pins secured in the inner ends of said rods for securing said rods in said rings.

4. In a display rack, the combination with a base provided with feet, of a standard secured in said base, a cap revolubly mounted on the upper end of said standard, oppositely disposed rods extending outwardly and downwardly from said cap, a circular frame connected to the lower end of said rod, said frame comprising a pair of concentric rings,

spaced apart by oppositely disposed por= tions, a hub revolubly mounted on said standard, spokes connecting said hub to the inner ring of the frame, said rings being provided with a plurality of openings in alinement with each other, rods slidably mounted in said openings provided with openings at their inner end, cotter-pins secured in said openings for locking said rods in said rings, and eyes secured in the outer ends of said rings for supporting garment hangers.
